Tired but very happy smile

The Man Maths worked to the extent this became a no-brainer.

Right car, right spec, right time and everything came together nicely. AM Bristol were excellent as well.

I did not realise these were even available as an option on the Vanquish but indeed they are but just very rare - only 9 built (boy do I wish it were 7 or less like a certain configuration of DBS smile

Stunning BTW, John
Thanks Nick

I shall try not to bang on about how rare this version is as I know that is not the done thing on here smile

I've been lusting after a Vanquish for a while now and had several test drives, but so far my man maths is just not good enough. biggrin

Congratulations, your car car looks absolutely stunning!! I'm so envious of you! biggrin

Stunning! I love Ultramarine Black and the Black Damson leather goes perfectly with it! cloud9
Agree with this, great combination
Thanks both, I absolutely love every aspect of the interior and especially the colour, this sold the car to me. Each to their own but I really don't know why so many persist with Obsidian Black when there is also Pure Black, Dark Knight and Black Damson as alternatives as well as all the other hues as well of course.

Indeed the combination of Black Damson with the Baltic and Caspian Blue stitching, trim and carpets marries really nicely with the Ultramarine. It remains to be seen whether I will have to change my (non-)cleaning regime with this exterior though.

Just a fantastic car. Many congratulations. I've only ever seen one Vanquish with Lightweight seats and it was also a factory car and the interior colour scheme was questionable. I didn't know there were only 9 however (is that in the world or in the UK?) so to find one in such a stunning colour scheme is super lucky. Please let me know when you're bored of it as I hope one day to be grown up enough for a Vanquish but only if it has lightweights biggrin

Well I should have added it also needs a heavy dose of heart ruling head hence the no-brainer bit smile

Thanks so much for that. I had already found one other YouTube review with this car. In both of these the Vanquish is on winter wheels and tyres which helped the 10-Spoke Gloss Black DTs it was factory specified with stay pristine smile

Thanks so much Pete.

I am having the 9 built number verified but I believe it to be a global figure. I also have only seen one other UK car for sale with Lightweights (in Cobalt Blue - interior had blue inserts and yellow stitching) but that was a 6-speed (and it sold quickly anyway). I have seen a white car on a YouTube video with black leather/alcantara with red piping seats. I did not like these. Do either of these sound like the one you saw?

Not sure I shall ever grow bored of this though to be honest I was not at all bored of my Vantage S to be fair so you never know smile

No. The one I saw was for sale at Stratstone Derby maybe a year or so ago. I'm sure it was Skyfall and can't quite remember the interior colour but think it was a mid grey with some red highlights including a gloss red centre stack that just didn't work IMHO.

BTW I definitely recommend the paint protection film. Also, being "black" I think you're going to have to find a bucket (or two) and start cleaning this one properly biggrin

Yep remember that being filmed in York.
How he drove it up the shambles without wrecking the wheels is anyone's guess eek

Beautiful car, congrats.

Great spec. Those seats alone justify a huge amount of the £££s asked.

Congrats, that is pretty much the perfect spec and the correct gearbox. The combination is stunning. Nicest Vanq II I think I've seen smile
